Storyboarder offers both a tool and a platform designed to empower individuals to create, share, and monetize their own webcomics. The webcomic, or digital manga, industry is particularly strong in East Asia, boasting a $12 billion market size, and is experiencing rapid global expansion. Webtoon, a leading company in this sector, generates $100 million in monthly revenue, but its growth is somewhat constrained by its reliance on content creators with drawing skills. There's a clear demand from readers for a broader range of stories within the webcomic format.
Leveraging years of experience in filmmaking, Storyboarder has developed user-friendly storyboarding software, already utilized by 700,000 users. The company aims to democratize visual storytelling by making it accessible to everyone. Storyboarder is developing a next-generation platform that utilizes advancements in video game interfaces, readily available 3D computing power, and artificial intelligence to enable anyone to easily create scenes, pose characters, and ultimately, produce compelling webcomics.
Storyboarder is backed by Y Combinator (W23), David Karp (founder of Tumblr), Andrew Kortina (founder of Venmo), and other investors focused on product-driven innovation.
